You can do nothing. initgroups looks for the groups of which the 'mysql'
user is a member of. This is why it does not stop after "files". 

This should not be a problem. nss-mysql should handle that case
gracefully.

I am thinking about adding an configuration parameter like
'groups.avoid_initgroups_for = mysql;'. This always would return a "not
found".

I think it could help you. I'll try to add it soon.
